The Rolec Hex Contactless EV Charging Pedestal with LCD Screen is a black two-socket pedestal for paid and guided AC charging. ROLEC3621B is the 2 x up to 7.4kW Type 2 socket version with both a 5-inch LCD screen and an integrated contactless payment terminal. It is specified for single-phase sites where two adjacent bays need a shared pedestal, and where the operator wants drivers to have both local instructions and a payment route at the charger. Each outlet is rated up to 7.4kW at 32A, using a 230V AC single-phase supply. The LCD screen provides step-by-step charging instructions, real-time charging status, live MID meter readings and support contact information. The contactless terminal supports tap-to-charge use through a compatible management and payment arrangement. OCPP 1.6J communications, MID compliant metering, PME fault detection and load management support commercial site operation. Browse commercial EV chargers for wider project options.

Why combine LCD and contactless payment

The combined LCD and payment version is specified where the driver may be unfamiliar with the charger, the site process or the access method. The display gives local instructions and session information, while the payment terminal provides a route for drivers who are not pre-registered with the site. That combination is suited to public-facing car parks, leisure locations, retail destinations and shared developments.

The LCD screen can show step-by-step charging instructions, real-time charging status, live MID meter readings and support contact information. The payment terminal supports contactless card use where the operator has configured the required management and payment service. Known drivers can still be served through app or RFID access. This flexibility is the reason to choose the combined model over the smart, payment-only or LCD-only Hex variants.

Two paid sockets from a central pedestal

The two-socket layout lets one central Hex unit serve two adjacent bays. It can reduce charger clutter in the parking layout and concentrate service access in one location. Each outlet remains socketed, so drivers connect suitable Type 2 cables. That avoids tethered leads sitting on the pedestal between sessions and is a familiar arrangement for public AC charging.

Two paid bays need more planning than a single socket. The pedestal should sit where both users can read the screen, reach the sockets and route cables without creating unnecessary trip risk. If two additional bays are required, ROLEC3641B gives the four-socket 7.4kW combined LCD payment layout. If the site has a three-phase supply and higher AC output is required, ROLEC3623B and ROLEC3643B provide 22kW versions. On a single-phase two-bay layout, this SKU is the relevant combined-interface option.

Billing data and back-office control

OCPP 1.6J communications allow the charger to connect to a compatible chargepoint management system. That platform is central to user access, tariffs, payment records and remote operation. The hardware gives the driver interface at the pedestal, while the CPMS manages the commercial and operational process behind it. App, RFID, plug and go and contactless operation can be used where the platform and site configuration support them.

Integrated Class 1 MID compliant metering supports accurate consumption records for both sockets. The LCD display can show live MID meter readings at the unit, and the management system can record session data for billing and reporting. This is particularly useful for car parks where energy needs to be allocated to users rather than absorbed by a general building supply. A suitable EV parking sign can support bay identification and reduce misuse of the charging spaces.

Protection and electrical design

The Hex platform includes AC overload and fault current protection through a 40A 30mA Type A RCBO per socket. It also includes 6mA DC fault protection, lightning surge protection, over temperature protection and PME fault detection. PME fault detection means no separate earth electrode is required for that function. Required external protection and surge protection still need to be assessed around the final cable route and supply arrangement.

Automatic dynamic load balancing is supported, and static load management is software configurable. These functions are important because two 7.4kW outlets can create a meaningful combined demand when both sockets are active. Additional hardware may be required for load balancing depending on the final installation. Designers should also consider expansion, since adding more chargers later can change the site capacity calculation. Supporting devices can be planned through EV circuit protection.

Durable housing and car park siting

The Hex pedestal uses heavy-duty steel with zinc primer and textured polyester powder coating, with a tempered glass fascia. It is rated IP54 and IK10, and it can be surface or root mounted. The dual unit measures 406mm wide, 1153mm high and 348mm deep, giving a defined footprint for drawings, bay setting-out and protective barrier positioning.

Photocell-controlled LED amenity down lighting helps mark the chargepoint in low-light conditions. The black finish suits commercial car parks and darker site furniture, but visibility should still be considered where pedestrians and vehicles share space. The pedestal’s position should be reviewed for collision risk, cable route and screen visibility. A root mount EV chargepoint protection barrier or surface-mounted barrier can be selected where vehicle impact risk is high.

Choosing Hex LCD payment variants

ROLEC3621B is the 2 x 7.4kW combined LCD and contactless payment Hex pedestal. ROLEC3641B provides four 7.4kW sockets with the same combined user interface approach. ROLEC3623B provides two 22kW three-phase sockets, while ROLEC3643B provides four 22kW three-phase sockets. Socket count and supply type should be selected from the electrical design and bay layout.

The simpler Hex variants remove one or both interface features. ROLEC0621B is the standard smart two-socket model, ROLEC1621B adds contactless payment only, and ROLEC2621B adds the LCD screen only. Choose the combined version where public or visitor users need both on-pedestal guidance and a payment route at the charger.
